Comments	Although Jack's is a large operation, they never crowded their boats. Diving is valet style, which I have never been fond of, but Jack's makes it work very well and I actually enjoyed it. We were never rushed. On shallow sites I had well over an hour bottom time. We also did several deep dives (over 100 feet) and were allowed to dive our computer profiles. We had south swells during our stay making it necessary to travel to more remote locations for the best diving conditions. Those who felt comfortable were allowed to penetrate lava tubes for some really sweet marine life encounters and photo opportunities. The manta ray night dive was one of the highlights of the trip. Unforgetable. Water temp really cooled by the end of the week. Wish I had brought my 5mm semi-dry. The crew was great. I felt like they were having as much fun as I was. And we greatly appreciated the post-dive fellowship at the kava bar. Mahalo Jack's.
